    Installation

    At Aussie Clotheslines & Letterboxes, we take the hassle out of clothesline installation. With our experienced installers, you can trust us to handle everything, from assembly to installation, ensuring a professional result every time.

    We install all types of clotheslines, including rotary hoists, extendable units, and wall or ground-mounted folding frames. Prices vary based on the installation method and any additional services required, such as core drilling or surface mounting.

    Please read the details below before booking your installation service.

    Includes: assembly, installation, wiring, fixings, and modifications for a custom fit.

    Note: Removal and disposal of an existing clothesline is a separate service (see below).

    Standard Ground-Mounted Clotheslines Installation – $185

    Applies to folding frames on post kits, folding rotary clotheslines, and retractable setups.

    Includes: assembly, installation, wiring, cement, and fixings.

    Ground-Mounted Clotheslines: We cut below ground level, disassemble, and dispose of the unit.

    Note: Concrete removal beneath ground is not included.

    How the Process Works:

    If you have placed your order online and requested installation services, one of our friendly staff members will give you a call to arrange a mutually agreed upon installation date.

    If you have placed your order over the phone or over email with one of our friendly staff members, we will take all of your information and agree on an installation date together. From there, we will email a confirmation quotation including our bank details and instructions on how to make a 50% deposit payment for confirmation of the job.

    A day prior to your installation date, one of our clothesline technicians will be assigned the job and will contact you via text or call to confirm a 1-hour time period in which to expect them the following day.

    If you have any special requirements to advise the installer, such as access instructions or installation location if you are not home, or if you would like the installer to contact you when they are on the way, then you can pass this onto the installer themselves or contact us via our office phone or email and we can pass it onto them ourselves.

    *Please note that installation dates may vary between 1-2 business days or 1-2 business weeks depending on our workload at that particular time of year*

With multiple mounting options available, you can choose the setup that best fits your home’s layout, sunlight exposure, and usage needs. Below is a breakdown of each installation method to help you decide:

    • Takes large items like sheets

     Considerations:

    • Needs digging and concrete
    • Requires precise alignment

    3. Post to Wall

     Best For:

    When the cabinet needs to be positioned in the yard, but you still have one suitable wall to anchor the other end.

     Mounting:

     Key Info:
